Abstract
The high coupling-efficiency fiber coupled diode laser module is obtained by beam shaping. The wavelength of the CW diode laser bar is 976 nm, and five bars are collimated by a fast axis collimation lens. Then the beams are transformed and collimated by slow axis collimation optics. Then all the beams are combined in space, and focused into a multimode fiber (400 m core diameter, the numerical aperture (NA) is 0.22). Experimental results show that the laser output from fiber could reach 327 W, and the coupling-efficiency is more than 93.6%. Experimental results demonstrate that this module lays a foundation for multi-wavelength, polarization beam combining and the high beam quality, high coupling efficiency diode laser module with CW thousands watts class output power can be developed.
